# 4.5. How can I mount a device

To mount a device you first need a *.kdelnk file that describes the device. If you dont have one already, you must read the section 'Usage' in this handbook to see how to create such files. Once you have done this you may press the right mouse button over the devices icon. Now you have several mount options. Unmounting works just like this. Before you can access a device you must mount it first. Once the device is mounted you can open it with a click. Sometimes it is possible to mount several file systems. But if the default one is the correct one, then you may click on the umnounted icon once and KFM tries to mount the device and will then open a window to show you the content.
